[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, kids are quite good at code switching. I personally ascribe to the view that if you make something off limits as a parent, and pay a lot of attention to it, it becomes a *thing* and it happens more often. Obviously for some things, you do need to set a hard limit and enforce it consistently. But I wasn't willing to do that with language. So I pay very little attention to my children when they're trying out "bad" words. I just don't acknowledge it. It tends to not get adopted when it doesn't get the attention. [/quote]
